Nimrod is a statically typed, imperative programming language that tries
|
|
to give the programmer ultimate power without compromises on runtime
|
|
efficiency. This means it focuses on compile-time mechanisms in all
|
|
their various forms.
|
|
|
|
Beneath a nice infix/indentation based syntax with a powerful (AST
|
|
based, hygienic) macro system lies a semantic model that supports a soft
|
|
realtime GC on thread local heaps. Asynchronous message passing is used
|
|
between threads, so no "stop the world" mechanism is necessary. An
|
|
unsafe shared memory heap is also provided for the increased efficiency
|
|
that results from that model.
